Do any of the F-89 kits on the market today come with the wingtip pods that housed Falcon AAMs?  Or are they all of the earlier versions with the rockets in the nose?

Yes, one of the Hobbycraft kits does, I've got one in the stash.

Wow, looks like a TIE Fighter Pilot's helmet, all black, shiny and engraved like that...   :thumbsup:

OK, as I've mentioned in another thread, my PC has died, so the only way I can access t'interweb is from work, but that means I cannot post pics, as the server here wont allow access to file-sharing websites (Photobucket).

Today it is wearing a very smooth and shiny coat of WEM Medium Sea Grey enamel, and an even shinier coat of Xtracolour Dk Green..... almost looks sleek..... Nahhhhh, who am I kiddin', it likes an anvil with skinny wings and a series of barrels (glued end-to-end) on the wingtips. D*mn it's f-ugly. Photos have been taken and hopefully tomorrow whils Mrs. Hunter-Gatherer is at work, I can use her laptop to post them here.

Best.

So, two weeks ago, it got a couple of light coats of Xtracolour Dk Grn over the glossy black.







Then after a couple of days it was masked as you see in these pics.



So now it looks like this:













Thanx as ever for taking the time to look. Next, decals  :thumbsup:

...the F-89 is one of the best. I *HOPE* you have and plan to use the "Scorpion" triangular decals in the tail.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

She's coming along nicely Ian, looking forward to seeing more. :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
